Thanks again guys for all the info. The transmission is a ford-o-matic. Its been interesting trying to get this thing going. Three months ago I didnt even know what a harmonic balancer was, let alone get one off (still having trouble getting it back on). I checked the push rods, all are there and appear to be in good condition. I already have new gaskets, and a new stud (one of the studs is bent a tiny little bit and stripped, having trouble getting it out, any suggestions?) for the valve cover. Also I seem to be missing most of the setup for the linkage... Any suggestions on where to buy the parts? Thank you guys once again for the help. Hopefully soon, another Y-block will run once again!
